Names of Cinque Terre Wineries?!?!
I will be traveling through Cinque Terre Vernazza for 2 days in May and would really love to visit a Winery for a day? Does anyone have a suggestion or know a website to learn more about where wineries are?

Just in case you think you're being ignored, the reason you have got no answers is because there aren't any.
My oenophile husband has a pretty wide ranging library and the nearest i can find is Ovada where they make Dolcetto d'Ovada. Dolcetto is " a plump grape with a low acid content traditionally used to amke cheerful Beaujolis-type wines that are deep red in colour and best enjoyed young". d'Ovada is described as "the fullest and firmest-can last for as long as 10 years". this is not what you might describes as a "Fine Wine"
You would have do go some distance to find anything better.
here is one web site for d'ovada.

Even this is 190 klicks.
